Is this weird?

So, my aunt is in town from Vegas. She is my dads sister. Both my dad and my grandma are dead. My aunt, actually my whole family has always believed in spirits and ghosts and stuff. I've always thought my whole family was nutty. Starting from when Brandon was almost first born I was convinced my son sees dead people. Both my husband and I experienced this. We would be in his bedroom changing his diaper and all the sudden he would look right past us at the door and just start staring and then smile. Rob and I always joked that our son sees dead people. So last night my aunt and I were sitting around talking. She was telling me how she was going to this new church with spirit leaders. They encourage you to speak to the universe and ask for the things you want. But they also communicate with spirits. So my aunt says that my grams contacts her a lot. I was laughing about all this and thinking it sounded kinda hokey. Then this morning, I took Brandon in to get him dressed. He was standing on his changing table and he looked right over my shoulder at the closet and started waving crazily and got the hugest smile on his face. Then he followed the wall over to his left and I shit you not he leaned over and kissed the air twice. I just stared at my son. What on earth was that? It was as though my grandma or my dad or someone was in the room with him. The weirdest thing was for him to get so happy to see them, must mean he sees them often and likes them. I was flabergasted.

Could it be true that babies have a sixth sense? Is it just something we are trained to lose as we get older, along with Santa and the Easter Bunny? I've decided that even if it is hokey, I'm going to take some comfort in knowing my grams was there with me this morning. Hopefully she sticks around a while. I miss her greatly.

I am sure that he sees something for him to be like that. And I wouldn't at all be surprised if it is your grandma with how close you were and how much you love and miss her. What a great feeling knowing she is there watching over you and your family.

When my mom died, Allie, Gloria's daughter informed us all to quit crying because Grammy was up there (in the sky) and a man was holding her. I think that they do have the sixth sense because they are so innocent and haven't heard that this is crazy talk that dead people are spirits walking around or that it is true that they are...he just sees what he sees and apparently enjoys being with your family that has passed.

I SWEAR that when my grandpa died when I was four that he would still play with me in my room. We would play tea party. I shit you not. I would sing to him. I knew that he was dead, but I could still talk to him. My mom used to spy on me and witness me having full-on conversations with him. Totally weird.
